Background

The album was first mentioned on Lil Wytes album Phinally Phamous on the song "Big Ass Guns" back in 2004.

On the 10th of October they pre-released their first song from the album called "Moment Of Truth". On October 24, Frayser Boy confirmed that the album would be released in November though on November 19, Lil Wyte confirmed that the album is finished and it would be released in January. On November 25, Lil Wyte posted a snippet of a track from the album on Facebook called "Fake Rappers". On the 3rd of December Lil Wyte confirmed that the release date of the album is January 21.
